What do you think of this?

Following the nail varnish thread, I've decided I NEED a really dark blue silk top.

What do you think of this?

Has naybody seen it in real life? Or if it's vile, does anybody have any other suggestions?

Okay - and to quote Raven - (said in sexy Raven voice) "Let the challenge - BEGIN"

I'll just relax and enjoy my first personal shopper experience!

LOOK.

These ones have a back zip. Why would you want a back zip on a shirt?

Foxy and I are your personal shoppers, so I wouldn't relax too much.

ahundred did you say ITALIAN??

there's one

hmmm

very worrying

cannot find anything nice

will keep looking

Now these ARE nice. I like the cream one at the end on the top line.

Foxy is taking a while isn't she janeite?

where do you think his right arm is in that first link of mine?

why do you need a silk top btw?

Hello Franca!

Oh yes, Italian shirt. Also the woman in the shop said to me when I bought it 'now you might need a size up because Italian women don't have breasts as a rule.'

What do you think of that Franca?

Hi, can I just hijack here and ask what a winter pimms is?

Sorry Janeite, I did not really like the top. Colour was nice but I found it a bit fussy.

Janeite - what do you think to the smooch pewter one?

Will SOMEONE please remark on the whole back zip thing. Have you ever seen such a thing before?

so you're not a hairy handed trucker. Damn.

here's another though smocks don't really flatter anyone do they

! "As a rule"? .

Where's she gone? I'm exhausted from all this running up and down the stairs with armfuls of strange shirts.

Do we carry on?

Winter pimms - I don't know what it is, sorry. Though I drank VAST amounts of it.

I know. What a thing to say. Anyway, is v. nice shirt Franca. It rustles.

wow, I like the green one foxinsocks.

Okay - don't like the back zip thing. Don't like the others either as they're too bright. I am an ex Goth so it needs to be daaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrk!! I love, really love, that LK Bennet one even though the colour isn't perfect but the neck is too high for my shape - I need a scoop or v neck really. Sorry!

Hi Franca - I don't need a silk top really - I just feel as if I want one! I want to wear it with wool wide-leg trousers and almond toe wedges and come over all Vita Sackville West or something.

I think the zip is because the material doesn't give and you can't squeeze your fatness out of the shirt without it giving somewhere

either that or it makes your partner want to rip your clothes off quickly and it saves having to keep buying more

That green colour is nice though.

Forget the shirt.

how about this:

I like that. I might get that.

I bet it does. They rustle as a rule, Italian shirts. Well I wish I was sipping winter pimms with you all, but it's time to go downstairs and watch some friday night tv . good luck with the search janeite

The zipped backed ones were a bit old fashioned. I like the pewter one

Winter Pimms is the winter version of summer Pimms! It's a bit "spicier" and orangey and very, very nice indeed.

I see janeite. are those wide legged trousers high waisted? I'd wear them with a very close-fitting top. I like the sound of your shoes.

ooh yes - that tunic thing is lovely.

How about this?
